The entire Purohit clan come running and chachoo takes out his red handkerchief and starts fanning Vaishali who slowly wakes up. Her dainty soft fingers start quivering and she slowly opens her eyelids and looks at the Mahanta and says................Where am I?
Mahanta- In my arms Devi'..
Hearing this Vaishali becomes bright red and she bites her lips between her teeth. Watching this, ghost of Sr. Purohit who is sitting with Kanha on a branch is hit by a sudden bout of coughing .Kanha rushes to him and starts patting his back. In the meantime Vaishali gets up and slowly starts walking with her hip swinging.
Mahant heaves a big sigh and then suddenly remembers that he has declared that he is going to plough the land. Dadima looks at him and says Mahantji shall we come tomorrow and give you moral support. Mahant suddenly has this image of Devi Vaishali urging him on, with a white handerchief in her hand with which she is wiping the tears that are flowing from her eyes............gulping he turns around and tells dadima ..........you are all welcome to watch while I am ploughing the land.
The next day the entire clan is again in the ashram and Mahant walks out and declares- I am very happy that all of you are here to watch me fulfill my vow and then looks at Vaishali...........who is now wearing a light green chiffon sari with a rice pearl necklace around her soft white throat that's as elegant as a swans neck.........there is a hint of smile on her lips and her eyes have a soft look. Seeing this Mahant's moustache starts quivering again.
Chachoo with his hands on his hips is watching the Mahanta and stands in front of Vaishali - You fainted yesterday and it was all due to heat exertion so I am just standing here so that the rays of the sun does not touch you directly.............Vaishali blushes and lowers her eyelids and Mahant booms..........Chachoo how can the suns rays touch the Devi........its early morning now and the sun is just over the horizon? You are blocking the nice cool breeze that is blowing on Jamunaji
Chachoo flares up and was on the verge of saying something when dadima stops him and urges the Mahant to start ploughing.
Mahant- As you all know Devi Vaishali could not complete her task yesterday and since it was due to my interferanc e that this all happened, I be ploughing the field in the same way as Devi Vaishali. So a pot of water is put on the Mahants head and the inorder to maintain his balance he walks swinging hip .......
Meanwhile the ghost of senior purohit looks at kanha- how can the mahant do Vaishalis job? He is not her husband.......
Kanha- wellllll.............the truth is although he will be pulling the plough but in reality someone else will be doing the job! Saying that he looks at Sr. Purohit
Sr. Purohit-Oh no Kanha! I am not going anywhere and he starts to say something when suddenly he feels as if he is sucked in somewhere and realises that he is inside the Mahant's body.
Mahanta who was walking with the pot on his head, hips swinging suddenly start to shake and starts shouting............who is this tickling me.............
Sr. Purohit- Calm down Mahant. I am the ghost of Sr.Purohit and I am inside you.
Mahant- Inside me? What do you mean inside me? And why are you inside me? Did you ask my permission to come inside me?
Sr. Purohit- Mahant do you think I wanted to come inside you? Nobody also asked my permission...........I was sitting peacefully on the branch, minding my own business and dreaming about Meneka and my conversation last night...........
Mahant- Meneka.....you mean she is here? Where is she?
Sr. Purohit- Mahant you are already making eyes at Vaishali who incidentally is my wife in this world and now you also want to make your eyes at my Meneka.
Mahant's moustache starts quivering and he blushes a bit........oh by the way why are you inside me?
Sr. Purohit- It's all your fault. Who asked you to complete Vaishalis punishment?.....its only her husband who can help her and for that reason I have been sent there.
Mahant- Oh I am sorry for disturbing you..........I don't know what happens to me whenever I see Devi.........she is so delicate and soft that I had to help her.
Sr. Purohit- Don't tell me about it........I had the same feeling about 31-32 years ago''..I saw her at her parents place wearing a yellow colour churidar Kurta.........I went there to meet her father and she had her back turned to me and she was cleaning something on the table..............her chunri had slipped from her shoulder.........her neck was even more softer then and she was wearing tiny silver ear rings which were swaying in the gentle breeze.........Mahant!! Sr. Purohit starts shouting..........Will you calm down! If you start jumping then the pot will fall on the ground!
Mahant- Oh Sorry! Then what happened.
Sr. Purohit- What can happen.....got married.........and then after marriage I thought that I will be able to admire her walking up the stair, walking down the stars.....but instead of me following her she started following me.....where ever I went she was behind me.......I kept on telling her that walk in front of me, but no she refused and told me that she is fulfilling her patni dharma and so has to walk behind me!
Hearing this the Mahant feels very sorry for the senior purohit and said.......Senior!.. but felt someone was tapping his shoulder from behind.....he turns around and sees Chachoo standing there....Mahant......for the past hour we all have been standing and watching you dance kathakali......we have enjoyed your performance but if it is possible can you please stat ploughing!
Mahant realizes what has happened and he looks guiltily around him......picks up the plough and starts pulling it.
As the Mahant is pulling the plough, small beads f perspiration starts to run down his face....he starts panting.....he is stressing himself and seeing all this Vaishalis soft heart melts down.........her lips start quivering and small tears fall from her eye........she is trying to hide her tears by holding her handerchief in front of her face but chachoo realizes that she is crying and comes and stands next her-
Chachoo- Putting his hand forward and catching a tear on his finger, looks at Vaishali and tells her.......please don't waste these tears.......these are even more precious than any expensive pearl.
Vaishali- Blushes delicately and looks down........and then tells chachoo'..Susheel you shouldn't be telling me all this..I am grown woman of three sons..........what will they think.........and then looks down.
Chachoo talking to himself.........oh they!............well the eldest one doesn't do anything, just nods his head and sometimes wakes up and starts growling, the youngest one is always after his wife..............and the middle one who has suddenly popped out is after the younger one and his wife.........
In the meantime the Mahant is completely tired and he stops for a minute''.there is water all over his body and he is drying himself........Vaishali rushes upto him swinging her hips and chachoo follows her with his hands on his hips.
Vaishali- Mahantji...........you are doing so much for me and look how drenched you are..saying that her lips have started trembling and the Mahants moustache starts quivering.........she takes her saris palloo and starts to wipe Mahants forehead..........Chachoo starts getting very agitated.............and suddenly Mahant hears........Oyeeeeeee! That's my wife if you don't mind! I know that I am no longer here but can you hold it for a moment and finish this ploughing..........so that I can then go back to Meneka and smell the roses that were there in her hair...........
Mahanta wakes up and tells Vaishali- Devi I think you should go back.............you can look after me after I have finished ploughing this field...........hearing this Vaishali blushes and giggles and slowly walks back followed by chachoo.
So the Mahanta keep on pulling the plough and suddenly it hits the stone.........Mahant is trying his best to get the plough over the stone when suddenly hears.............excuse me.......heh you! I said excuse me.
Mahant- who is talking?.........I can't see anyone!.............then to the ghost of senior purohit.......are you talking to me?
Sr. Purohits ghost- No I am not talking to you..........why should I talk to you? It's the stone who is talking to you.
Mahant- Stone! What stone?
Sr. Purohit- The one that's in front of you........Look down.
Mahanta looks down and sees that the stone is very angry with him and is frowning ..........
The stone- Ah-Atleast cought you attention'for the past few months I have been trying to tell you something.........why on earth do all of you try to either pull a chariot or a plough over me? Why can't you all just avoid the place where I am sleeping? Don't I have any feeling?
Mahant is too surprised to say anything and is just standing there stammering when he feels as if someone is pushing him from inside...........its the ghost of Sr. Purohit who is pushing him to bypass the stone........Mahant you are boring me............either you stand and stare at my wife or you stand and stare at the stone.........will you please hurry up? I have to reach Meneka on time otherwise Narada will go and tell her what I am doing here and then I will be in her bad books''.
Slowly the plough reaches the finishing line and everyone comes running to the Mahant...........the Mahant faints in Vaishalis arms saying Devi! and the ghost f Sr. Purohits flies off to his Meneka........Kanha is left sitting on the brash cleaning the flute.
This is for Shiney for her idea regarding the ghost entering Mahants body! 😉😃
